About this opportunity

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command is seeking to procure a single towing hawser for the USS CARTER HALL (LSD 50) through solicitation N0018925Q0404. The requirement calls for a non-rotating construction, single-braided, polyester 12-strand hawser complying with MIL-R-24750 specifications, with the government providing couplers per drawing 4759441. This procurement is necessary because the current towing hawser has become frayed and is no longer usable. The contract will be evaluated based on price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106, using the provision at FAR 52.212-2 for commercial items evaluation. Critical deadlines include a questions submission deadline of 1200 EST on July 28, 2025, with quotes due by July 31, 2025, and questions must be directed to Danielle.s.mallory.mil@us.navy.mil.

This opportunity is designated as a Total Small Business set-aside under NAICS code 314994 with a size standard of 1000 employees, and will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price contract for supplies. The procurement involves a single unit quantity with delivery required within eight weeks after receipt of order (ARO). Performance will take place at BAE Systems Norfolk Ship Repair located at 750 W Berkley Ave, Norfolk, VA 23523, where the hawser will be delivered FOB Destination to the USS CARTER HALL. Vendors must provide new equipment only with manufacturer warranty, and quotes must include comprehensive pricing covering shipping costs and payment fees, along with detailed item descriptions, lead times, and country of origin information. The solicitation emphasizes that vendors cannot simply copy and paste the RFQ description but must provide substantive technical details in their responses.
